|
|
A new player in the Windows Phone marketplace, GPS On is a voice guided, turn-by-turn navigation app that uses on-board mapping and has all the basic features you'd expect.
GPS On uses Navteq mapping data with full address and POI search, pedestrian mode, portrait and lansdcape viewing options and a smart routing engine.
Available in the Windows Marketplace, the app can be tested free of charge for 24hrs and the UK/Ireland version costs £30.99 to purchase. The authors, GPS Tuner also have an off-board version where map data is loaded per journey as required for £3.99 as well as on-board versions covering other territories.

One of the things I found interesting was Quote: | NEW FEATURES:
- Improved route calculation for long trips
- Smart routing (tries to avoid unpaved roads) | Did it fail to do this before? |

Hardly a new player?
It's been around since late 2011 and the current version seems to add little to the original program.
As far as I can see it is still 2D only and also still lacks postcode address entry.
Still, as it's half the price of Navigon, it is fair value for money. |

Hmm, Navteq mapping data - just the same as used in my Nissan Connect, which isn't exactly up to date. |
